But I won't get it for 8-10 weeks. My sis just recently got a couch that they had to wait 11 months for. Thanks government, for purposely ****ing up the free market using a gain-of-function flu virus as the excuse.

My new Dell laptop isn't any better than the 3 year-old ASS-is was. It's even worse in some ways, it boots slower and wakes slower after sleeping. I've pared the start-up process down to bare bones but it doesn't seem to help.

My parents have the one you added as an attachment. GET. THE. WARRANTY!

They wanted to give me both of theirs to get something manual. Nope. Not falling for that. When you put your feet up, the seat also reclines. There is no in-between. I find them uncomfortable at best.

I would take all the forum bandwidth if I posted up pictures of each part to fill this hole, let us just agree it is a lot:

I still have one within 30 miles, but who knows for how long. It wasn't that long ago that I had several within 100 miles, now there's only the one.

A month early and $5,000.00 cheaper than the initial bid.

Winning! Sort of...

I think they will look great on her car. The stock wheels are a little too "luxury car" looking to be on a sorts car, IMHO.

These are the wheels I have coming for my Z06:

Not 100% of the time. Like the classics, but the American 'Daisy' wheels are looking macho enough here, IMO. Name:  55.jpg

My "latest" purchase?

An hour ago I bought lunch for a 35 or so year-old woman and her teen daughter. I barely know either one of them. Age-wise, they could be my daughter and granddaughter, with many years to spare.

There is a reason I do it, but it has nothing to do with sex like y'all are thinking.

No reason needed. I know a woman in LA about the same age with a teen daughter. Other kid is a firefighter in the mountains. She works her ass off at one full-time and another part-time job and they never have enough money for entertainment. They love hockey and the Kings, so I sent them to see a game with seats at the top of Section 101 at Staples. Got them in to the Lexus Club before the game. Got parking right across the street from the arena. They had a great time. I'm 100% sure her kids will be successful because of her parenting.
